3rd party apps slow to quit since 10.6.2

Have anyone noticed that 3rd party apps (e.g., MS Office, Firefox, et. al.,) are very slow to quit?
Ever since I've updated, I've noticed a quite a bit of lag after quitting to when actually quits.
Any ideas?

Its a mid 2009 MBP w/4Gb RAM and 2.8MHz C2D, lots of free HDD space.
Don't think its a memory issue. Did not have slow app to quit prior to 10.6.2 and Apple's apps behaves just fine...

  • Can't use system ringtone in 3rd party apps since OS upgrade

    Yesterday I upgraded the OS on my BB9900 to 7.1 Bundle 2061 (v7.1.0.714 Platform 5.1.0.532). I then had to completely reconfigure BeBuzz LED customiser (v 5.0.40 for OS 7.1) for specific contacts and apps. Before upgrading I had used 3Bells as a contact-specific alert for emails and text messages in BeBuzz. But since the upgrade it won’t let me us 3Bells. If I try, the following message appears:
    “The selected ringtone 3Bells is a system protected file and cannot be accessed by 3rd party apps. Please move a copy of the file to a different folder on your phone. This applies to all ringtones that came preinstalled on this phone”.
    This is very strange, as this restriction wasn’t there before upgrading the OS. My question is, how do I locate the folder where this ringtone file is?

    +"remove the "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" file...then re-open the system preferences..."+
    And remember to either log out and back in to the account or restart the computer to force the generation of a new prefs file.

  • How can I forward an SMS as an email , i have doing this daily on 9900, surprised to miss this on Q10, i am ready to buy an 3rd party app also, if required, it is must for me.

    1. when i read an sms, there is option to forward as email in 9900.
    Since i am using Q10, i can not do this.
    I need this immediately.
    Anybody can help??
    I am ready to buy any 3rd party app also, if it can provide this without slowing down the performance.
    2. Further, i can not sms from contacts screen. There is no option to sms , when i select a contact. I have to go to SMS and there type contact name , how can i enable this?
    3. If i receive a call and i want to send sms to the person, i can not tap on called no and choose and option to sms him. I have to copy that number, go to SMS app and use that no to sms. If i am in a meeting , it is long process and kill focus in meeting. In android, there is one swipe to reject call and send an sms that i am in meeting. Can we achieve this basic features in Q10..

    I can forward a SMS as an email on my Q10.
    open the SMS and hold down on the text, this opens a side menu with the "share" icon on it (like a Y),
    Then you can select how you want to share, eg SMS, Email BBM etc.
    Hope this helps?

  • I recently purchased a 4S. I now have 2 files in my iCloud both with my name. One from my 3gs and one from my 4S. The problem is the data history of all my games and 3rd party apps did not transfer over to my 4S. Is there a way to merge the two in icloud?

    I backed up my 3gs to the iCloud and when I synced my 4S, it did not transfer my game histories or my 3rd party app histories. When I look at my iCloud storage, it shows both phones under the same name. Is there a way to merge them together in iCloud? I tried adding the account to my 4S but since they are both named the same, it says I already have that account added! Help!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

  • 3rd party apps from someone other then Apple

    Does anyone now if you can get 3rd party apps without jail braking and without using Apples application store. I found a website that offers apps that I really want and was very disappointed to see none of the in the Apps store and dont know why nobody made them or offered them there. For $24.99 I can get all these apps that I was really looking forward to seeing in the apps store but werent:
    NES System : Nintendo with all the games
    Customization : Were I can custom every aspect of the I-Phone from I-cons to backgrounds
    Screen shot : A app where I can take a picture of anything that my I-Phone is viewing at that time like from a game or a website ETC.
    Video Recorder : I cant believe there was no video recorder in the apples web app release it is just something every phone should have
    MMS : Picture messaging, I mean I dont know how many times I recieve a picture message and have to wait till I get home to go on my computer to go to a website just to see them. How long it takes also with normal broadband just to see a simple picture.........This is a must have app
    Ringtone: Now all you have to do is select a song from your music library and put it to you contacts that easy no cutting or editing it down to size, no extra programs to make them with and no money to spend to make them
    Also much more that I dont feel like describing like:
    Instant Messenger
    YouTube Downloader
    Books
    VNC

    Wow don't try to send a MMS to someones cell phone from the e-mail option this was a nightmare. I tried it to see if it would work and I received a message that the attempt didn't succeed so it kept trying and trying automatically. Then I get a phone call from the person I sent it to telling me it work but for me to quit sending it. I said I only sent it once then he said I have like 15 already so I check out my phone and it is really warm I looked at it and the battery went from fully full to a little less then half empty. So I am like what the heck so I go into my e-mail account and I see there is an e-mail demon meaning there was an attempt to send a e-mail but it didn't succeed. Normally when this happens it will make another try just to make sure it wasn't a service error well apparently my cell phone is continuing to retry to send the message so I have the phone trying my e-mail account trying while the person who the message is being sent to is receiving everyone........So I had to delete every message being sent on my e-mail account, I had to delete my E-mail account on my phone, and I had to shut it off for 30 minutes to see if this works it not I don't know what to do and my nightmare continues as well for the person who's phone keeps blowing up with the MMS message and I am wasting all of his text on his plan.......
    Thanks for the bad advice

  • 3rd party app alerts no longer show up in the notification center

    I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 last week and ever since alerts for 3rd party apps (like gmail and others) haven't been showing up in the notification center.  I've checked my settings for both the notification center and for my individual apps to make sure they weren't reset, made sure my apps were up to date (not all of them have had updates since iOS7 was released but some definitely have), tried toggling them on and off and rebooting, but so far nothing has helped.  The banner alerts work, but nothing pops up in the notifications.  Has anyone else experienced this or have any other ideas how to fix it?
    I've generally been pretty pleased with the new version of iOS, but I'm hating everything about the changes made to the notification center.  Even if I do get my notifications to work again, I hate that we're forced to have that "Today" tab even if you switch the summaries off!  I like the unified page from iOS6 much better.

    Hi cyn999!
    I have an article that can help address this question:
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
    As you can see in the screenshot, the weather does show up in the notification center, but it is in text form instead of icon form in iOS 7. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

    Braden

  • Can't open any 3rd party apps - they crash on startup

    I've been an iPhone owner since the first model (I have iPhone 4 now), and I've never seen anything like this.
    Last night my iPhone ran out of charge. This morning, when I plugged it in it had to charge for a few minutes before it would turn on. Once it turned on, it said "waiting for activation: this may take a while". I thought this was strange, because my phone is already activated. I'm in an area with no reception, though, so maybe that was the issue.
    Once the phone turned on, I tried to open some of my apps. But none of the 3rd party apps would open! When I tap them they appear to open but they shut down / crash right away. Strangely, however, all of the Apple apps that come with the phone will open without a problem (Maps, Mail, Safari, iCal, etc.).
    I tried a hard reset but that didn't help. I'm away from home so I can't do an erase and store, and I really need access to some of the data in those apps.
    Any ideas?

    I did the same this week. I did a sync and now I can't access any of my apps. They appear to open then shut right back down. Have tried to resync, update and about anything else that may fix and nothing. Paying an aweful lot of money just for texting and phone usage. Anyone know how to take care of this issue? I have a 3G phone and been using it for a year without this problem

  • Backing up 3rd party apps with Time Machine

    After what started out as a simple question...why won't my iChat stay connected now that i have installed OS Lion and spending over 2 hours with Apple Phone support and trying all the known trouble shoots, they told me the only thing I can now do is Back Up my MacBook Pro and do a HD erase and reinstall everything. So, this has me a little freaked out! I have never done this and am afraid of the results. In particular, my 3rd party applications such as all my Adobe Suite applications. I no longer have access to the initial start up and install Creative Suite CDs! At first apple support said Time Machine WOULD NOT back up 3rd party apps. Then I get an email and said they were mistaken and it WILL with a link to an article. Yet I see nothing about it with in the article I was sent. SO, has anyone successfully reinstalled their Mac from a Time Machine Backup along with any 3rd party apps?
    What is also frustrating is that I asked if I could just go back to Snow Leopard since I had no issues with iChat using that OS. I was told I would have to do the same erasing of my HD either way to reinstall that OS. Ugh.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, as long as you let TM do a full disc backup (that is, you do not exclude anything in the TM backup settings) you will have a backup that allows a full system restore - puts everything back just as it was.
    You can also clone your system using the shareware app SuperDuper or the donation-ware app CarbonCopyCloner
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    http://www.bombich.com/
    Both of these apps will make a true clone (literally, a bit-by-bit copy) of your hard drive onto an external drive.  This clone will actually be bootable itself (you plug in the drive and hold the option key during startup then select the clone to boot from).  You would boot from the clone, then reverse-clone it back onto your internal hard drive.
    If you are really serious about being highly confident of not loosing files, you could use both  - I keep a TM backup on one drive, and 2 clones on separate bus-powered hard drives.
    P.S. even if you had not had any issues, you really, REALLY should be keeping regular, up to date backups anyway - things go flooey without warning sometimes and you risk loosing everything on your machine if you DON'T keep regular backup copies available.

  • How to enable iCloud Keychain for 3rd party apps?

    I came across iCloud Keychain, which if enabled, lets you backup keychain passwords and restore on other iOS devices. Also read that 3rd party apps can integerate iCloud Keychain to their apps in order to ensure that the app's keychain items are backed up to iCloud Keychain. Would like to know more on what 3rd party apps can do with iCloud keychain. 
    Even Appls's FAQ says so:
    Does iCloud Keychain work with third-party apps?  Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are then kept up to date on all devices that use the app and running iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
    I couldn't really find implementation details. Please help.

    If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
    SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
    "restore candy crush backup progress"
    Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

  • Backing Up 3rd Party Apps

    Hello,
    I tried searching this...maybe I didn't put in the right string of words...How does one go about backing up 3rd party apps. I have gotten that Error 523 or whatever it is...where I basically have to reinstall everything on my phone. I can usually pull the email/contacts/messages backup off my computer but I don't know how to specifically back up my 3rd party apps. 
    Also, since I am asking anyway...is there anyway to wipe my phone completely using desktop manager? I have heard people say they use JL commander or whatever...I'm unfamiliar with that program and was wondering if there was a way through DM before I search out another program. 
    I appreciate the help in advance.

  • All 3rd party apps Crash - Already Restored FIVE Times to date - Apple fix?

    Since the 2.0 update my apps have had constant crashing issues. Usually after opening 8 or so apps in a row (very easy to do when downloading and testing many apps) ... Powering down and powering back up usually helped/fixed the issue, if temporarily.
    Now, since 2.0.1 I've had times when one app will crash to the home screen, and from that point on ALL 3rd party apps immediately crash. Powering down the iPod, and powering back up does not fix the problem. Resetting the ipod (Sleep and Home buttons held) does not help either. I've also tried just Syncing the ipod, but this, alas, does nothing to help.
    When it's come to this in the past I've had to do a complete iPod restore, which if it weren't just for the time taken restoring, the time taken re-arranging the icons/screens puts the process into the realm of a major pain. But having a way to assign apps to a particular screen on the ipod/iphone within iTunes is a topic for another thread.
    Is there a way around this (crashing issue) that I'm just not seeing?
    I'm tired of being and eff-ing guinea pig; this is not why I'm an apple user, this is one of the reasons I make fun of Windows people and get them to switch TO apple.

    Well, now it's official, thanks to 3rd party apps and/or faulty system software my iPod is Dead.
    When I created this thread I was having all 3rd party apps crash constantly, and instantly upon launch. The myriad of methods used to recover it to working order failed. I decided to do a Restore and use the last successful backup. It got to about the 95% mark on the restore and hung for 2 hours. The exact same place for 2 hours.
    Not having the ability or patience to wait for my iPod to get done tying up my computer, I reset it. Now, all I've got is a $299.99 Paperweight that constantly displays a nice and shiny apple logo on it's screen.
    An attempt to restore it to factory settings only gave me an error dialogue box:
    The iPod "Kuhnaydeein's iPod" could not be restored.
    An unknown error occurred (0xE8000035).
    Now what am I supposed to do? I don't live near an Apple Store, the only place that sells apple merch is the store where I work, in the department I work. I know our policy on taking back/exchanging iPods.
    What I've failed to mention is how I'm EVER going to sell one of these to someone if there's a chance they'll just be getting the same FAULTY Hardware/Software I'm now stuck with? Is Apple going to come to the rescue, read this post and replace my iPod? I sincerely hope they read this, because they don't give the slightest hint at any Direct Email addresses on the Apple.com website. (What's with that anyway?)
    So what do I do now? RESTORING IS NOT AN OPTION.

  • Accelerometer Barely Works in Native Apps, Perfectly Fine in 3rd Party Apps

    Slightly weird issue. I had the issue in 2.2.1 but I'd hoped it would resolve itself when I installed 3.0. Basically Changing orientation in Safari will pretty much not work at all, or in email, messaging etc. But if I run a 3rd party app that relies on the accelerometer, it works perfectly fine. For example I restored my phone entirely with 3.0, no jailbreaking, nor did I restore my backup from iTunes, so a completely clean iPhone, no data or 3rd party apps at all. It still didn't work, I installed a Liquid simulator app which I thought would make a good tester, and once again, perfectly fine, not a single issue. For the record, the accelerometer in native apps isn't entirely dead, shake to shuffle works fine, and there was one point where I had the phone on it's side for a while and it eventually dropped to landscape, but then I couldn't get it back again.
    So what more can I do? Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? I can only assume I can rule out a hardware issue since the liquid app works fine.
    So to summarise:
    3.0 Software, clean install, no backup restored. Accelerometer barely works in native apps. 3rd party apps, all works fine.

    sounds like a good reason to go to telstra and demand the 3gs as a replacement for your faulty phone

  • Resolving how 3rd party apps show free space?

    I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and am now just learning about "Local Backups" and how they work.  This seems like a pretty neat feature and great extra data protection.  However, I now have trouble with 3rd party apps that monitor and notify about free space.  (ie iStat Menus, TechTool Pro, Disk Inventory X).  As I said, I think this new feature is great for added data protection, but it seems it has a huge flaw if it is going to make all other applications show incorrect Used/Free space.  In fact, since the Local Backup seems to use as much space as it can and will only free the space as needed, it seems every application or tool will show that the disk is always on the verge of being completely full.  Has anyone found ways around this?  Or are there any good apps that monitor and/or display free space (like iStat Menus) that can account for, or rather disregard, the space being used by Local Backup in the same way that the Finder window seems to?  I hope that in future OS updates, Apple does something about this like making the space used by Local Backup hidden in some way.

    Sorry, you didn't get my point:
    'Unintentional' means accidentally. I always wonder how people can delete files 'accidentally', requiring trashing them and then, in a second step, empty the trash.
    I do not empty my trash before having backed up, as I was pointing out. If I did, it would not be 'unintentionally'. It would be intentionally. And I should get fired. Unless I can have the backup drive there within 40 minutes.
    My point is, YOU're heading to work in the morning, not having backed up for the past 2 weeks to the external disk since your backup is always with you on your 4 months old Mac, still under warranty and unlikely to break anyway. Crossing the street from the parking lot, you need to jump to avoid some crazy driver. You make it, only your laptop slips from under your arm, drops onto the tar, and worse, before you can grab it, that bus is rolling over it. The HDD/SSD/whatever is history, and so is your work and some other important coroprate docs worth 2 weeks. Will you continue to walk into the office to resign, or will you ask the bus driver to run you over as well, please?
    My view is unchanged.
    Can we stop this here, please? My data is safe, and yours I've written off a while ago.

    Mike,
    If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
    Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
    Quit LPX
    Open Finder
    Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
    Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
    Now Restart your Mac.....
    and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
    Fingers crossed...
